A quick look at Wikipedia confirms that it's still in use in India,
Japan, and fairly extensively in Europe. It's being phased out
everywhere, but it reaches places that ADSL still does not, and it's
higher bandwidth than consistent latentcies are valuable for some
remote audio applications.  So you may feel sorry for them, but it's
going to be around a while longer.
